The Dual Summoner and the Darkling

The plan

I started thinking about everything knowing that many things could happen if I didn't keep track of what was going on and that was the problem. Aleks seemed to have his plans in track but not including me into everything. Though one day when Aleks and I were spending time with Kira when Alina and Mal escaped which Ivan told us. 

I still didn't like Ivan and he knew it but that was my opinion as he didn't like me being Aleks's wife. I was meant for this life way before I'd even known about it and when Aleksander had people go look for Alina no one could find her..

Months went by and Aleksander had gone on his own to search as I was left with Kira. Nico was to watch me and when things went bad again all the grisha in the little palace including myself were taken by the fold and put in cages. Kira was just a toddler, but she was in the cage with me as I hated this..I was a Sun Summoner and Tidemaker and they turned against me.. 

"How could you?" I asked as the first army soldier looked at me, in my black kefta and my daughter by my feet. "You want to talk about how could we? You are a traitor like the other Sun Summoner..sleeping in your General's bed and having that kid by your feet." The army soldeir said 

I wanted to yell and scream but they were not listening but Nico was among them trying to reason. "Let her go..she's actually for our side." Nico said as they looked at him and the argument started about what I was and wasn't meant for. I hated the people who wanted to have me here near the fold but I felt something as I saw a glimpse of shadows and nichevo'ya with my connection to Aleksander. 

He promised not to make more of those.. I thought 

Suddenly sound came from within the fold, I knew what it was and I wasn't scared but the first army soldiers were. Nico looked at me as I made a motion for him to get by my cage and he did as the first army soldiers tried to move him from me but then a  nichevo'ya came out from the fold as the first army soldiers screamed. Then Aleks, came out from the fold as I figured out he was in the fold or Alina tried pushing him back in as he walked out seeing us in cages as he used small shadow blades to open cages and chains. 

He walked over to me when he saw me in the cage as he used a shadow blade. "So they captured you and Kira.." He said as he pulled the cuffs off my wrists as I nod and then he took my hand leading me out after I picked up Kira and then we went over to where Genya where she also was released. 

"What happened? You went after Alina and then next thing we knew we were all evacuated out of the little palace?" Amira asked as she knew that something was going on. 

"I found Alina and she knocked me back in the fold, people turning against us again...I had no choice but to call forth the nichevo'ya to assist me." Aleksander said as he took her hand and looked at her. "Now, I'm quite famished and you look like you need some relaxation so let us go find something to eat." He said 

People followed behind us as we were all heading with him where he led us to some kind of mansion as we walked in. I had a feeling something wasn't right but I had to manage it on my own as he was in the midst of planning his notion for the throne. I knew if we were going to win then I was going to have to make a move on my own as I walked in and he looked up. 

"Let me go out there..with Kira. I can get close to Alina and I can get closer to the royals since I never turned on them." Amira said 

Aleksander didn't like the idea but he knew I had a point, I had good reason to want to help the cause but it meant we would be separated again for awhile. He got up as he walked over and kissed me as I kissed him back. "You know how dangerous this can be.." Aleksander said as I nod. 

"It's more dangerous if I do nothing...the royals will take 2nd army survivors that fled before the evacuations..I can get close. Get to lead them and distract everyone while you gain your goal." Amira said
